Police/interrogators are allowed to lie in their investigations....who really knows if that would have actually been the end of it....

There have been cases where supposedly some people have a disorder/gut bacteria which causes certain sugars to turn into alcohol causing certain foods to actually lead to a BAC. No idea to the actual prevalence of this.....but it is an explanation that his lawyer could explore.
The main problem is that denial of a problem/situation is a major symptom the alcoholic condition.

Auto-brewery syndrome. Quite rare but also likely underdiagnosed.

That “offer” was absolutely a cop fishing expedition. No way they were going to just let him go home before a breathalyzer. They just wanted to see if he’d take the bait.

NEVER talk to 5-oh without a lawyer present. Seriously.

When bidding vacation, where can we see our relative seniority for the vacation bidding cycle?

I believe the system takes a snapshot of your relative seniority in category this month (ie: Jan.)

Pay question: I've got a 9 day that spills about 50 hours into February. I also have training for a new a/c that starts in the middle of the February continuing into March.

I plan to get a regular line in February. Is it safe for me to assume I will be paid the 50 hours plus the daily training rate for the 15 or so days that I'll be training in February?

Thanks in advance

Yes. You don't likely even need to bid, as your credit will already put you into the lcw.
